The intersection of US287/3rd Street and Grand Ave. has reopened in Laramie
July 2, 2025
LARAMIE, Wyo. – Crews with the Wyoming Department of Transportation and Knife River have reopened the intersection of US Highway 287/3rd Street and Grand Avenue in Laramie.
Crews closed the intersection on May 1 to remove the original surfacing. Crews then worked to upgrade all ADA corners, complete curb and gutter work, upgrade storm sewer, pour new concrete surfacing, install a new signal, and other miscellaneous work.
Motorists will encounter a slight bump due to a difference in grade from 3rd Street and Grand Avenue when entering the intersection. When crews return to pave the mainline, the grade difference will be fixed.
“Getting the 3rd Street and Grand Ave. intersection completed and open in time for Laramie Jubilee days was a big priority. Knife River and their subcontractors, as well as WYDOT engineers Kory Cramer, Sam Finkle and the rest of the team deserve a lot of credit for delivering this ahead of schedule," said District Construction Engineer Ryan Shields. "Overall, this has been a very successful project due to their clear communication, expert coordination, and a shared commitment to the Laramie community." The project is on track to be finished this fall.
Work will continue along 3rd Street throughout the summer. Motorists are encouraged to obey all posted signs, flaggers and other traffic control and avoid distractions like cell phones while driving through work zones.
All WYDOT project scheduling is subject to change, including due to adverse weather or material availability.
